I'm using kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp. When installing on a new system Grub didn't install properly but using the rescue disk and the root & setup commands. Now just have to rebuild the menu system for grub. Since a version has already been installed I have not tried to recompile the latest version and the rpm that is available also needs the rrdtool as part of it's dependencies. found the sensors-detect script and i2cdetect in a different location and now have the outputs of that for the sensors that "may" work. This information just all gets put into the files that the sensors- detect script gives? What happens with the output, is it graphical or are there other programs to read the output? Thanks
